South Plains Wildlife Rehabilitation Center, Inc.

Here is a Pie Chart of our 2019 admissions.

You can see the majority of our admissions were birds, followed by 

mammals, reptiles and amphibians.

The total number of wildlife admissions was 2560.

We are still going strong - 33 years later - thanks to generous community support and funds we receive from donations when animals are brought to us for care, newsletter subscriptions, special events, environmental 

education programs, grants and gifts.

Even though we must have state and federal permits to rehabilitate and care for wildlife, we receive NO funding whatsoever from either regulatory agency.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                        SPWRC, Inc., was founded in 1988, and for our first 19 years, we had no                                                                                                 salaried employees - all the work for wildlife - 365 days a year - was 

                                                                                                done by volunteers.  (Now we still only have one salaried employee and                         two part-time employees).

                                                                            Please continue to help us help them!

                                                                               Your gifts are tax-deductible to the extent the law allows. 

                                                                    SPWRC is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization.

South Plains Wildlife Rehabilitation Center, Inc. is an IRS determined 501 (c) 3 non-profit facility that cares for orphaned, injured, ill and displaced wild animals with the ultimate goal of returning wildlife back to its natural habitat whenever possible.

Busy "Baby Season" is likely to begin in March or April. If our winter continues to be mild, doves and squirrels will be starting families, soon followed by songbirds like Blue Jays, Robins and Mockingbirds in May. 

We'll be very busy during daylight hours 7 days a week. 

If you'd like to volunteer, call us at 806 799-2142 and talk 

with Gail Barnes, our Director
